This escalated quickly. These days, going viral is the ultimate badge of honour. However, you usually never ever want anything your mum posts on Twitter to go viral, especially if it pertains to you and your sexuality. But one poor lad named CJ found himself at the centre of a Twitter sh*tstorm when his poor Mammy took to the social media site to find out what the strange contraption she found in his private bathroom was. The mum, who goes by the name "Patty Parsons" on Twitter, posted a photo of the object hoping someone might enlighten her.

People were more than happy to shed some light on the situation...

After flogging the denial approach pretty hard, Patty decided to turn it on the manufacturers.

Soon, Patty was claiming she would rather her son go to war than masturbate. Step away from the phone Patty. However, things settled again when Patty's son simply explained that it was his mates. Of course it is.
